I fill a niche
Jul. 21st, 2011 03:30 pmI'm currently in Nancy for a workshop affiliated with the Congress on Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science, and while I was giving my talk, a photographer came around and snapped some pictures. I figured it was just the generic conference photographer (lots of bigger conferences have them), but then during the coffee break he approached me and it turns out he's a professional photographer putting together a collection of photographs of researchers, and he wanted to know if I would be interested and had a spare 15 min. for him to take some photos of me for possible inclusion. He wanted to have a variety of ages, sexes, etc., and I guess I nicely fill the niche "young pregnant female" :) (a niche which is not often filled at these conferences, so I'm sure he was thrilled at his luck!). Since it was the coffee break (and since I love posing for photographs...) I said yes. I (naturally) had to fill out a release form with my contact info...I'm hoping that I get to see some of the end result at some point!
